soar-STICK HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gsoncn \Vnsnnr TIN- DALI, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, and a resident of the city of Toronto, in the county ofYork, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Soap-Stick Holders, of which the following is thespecification.

My invention relates to improvements in soap stick holders, and theobject of the invention is to devise a soap stick holder in which thesoap stick may be readily inserted in the holder or replaced by a newstick whenever required by the purchaser, and is such as will dispensewith the threading of the soap stick and the employment of anyoneskilled for the insertion of the stick in the holder, and it consistsessentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as hereinaftermore particularly explained.

Fig. 1 is a sectional view through my holder showing the soap stick inposition.

Fig. 2 is a perspective detail of a portion of a soao stick and themetal connector can carried thereby.

In the drawings like characters or reference indicate correspondingparts in each figure.

1 indicates a soap stick.

2 is a cap formed of suitable material, the upper portion of which isknurled, as indicated at 3, the intermediate portion threaded asindicated at 4, and the lower portion provided with inwardly stampedspicular projections 5. lVhen the cap is ready for insertion upon theend of a stick, the spicular projections 5 rest flush with the surfaceof the wall of the cap, and after the soap stick has been insertedwithin-the cap, are forced inward into the soap so as to engage thestick.

6 is a cylindrical casing or container for the soap stick, the edge ofwhich is provided with an enlarged portion 7 which is internallythreaded- 8 is a closing cap for the container 6. The cap 8 is providedwith an annular flange 8", the periphery of which is preferably knurled,and with an annular inwardly extending flange 9 having an externalthread engaging the internal thread of the en- Serial No. 683,383.

larged portion 7. The upper portion of the flange 9 is reduced so as tofit within the upper end of the container 6, such portion beinginturnedly threaded so as to engage with the threaded portion 4iot thecap 2.

10 is a projection or projections extending from the cap 2, beingstamped in the metal thereof and fitting into a correspond ingdepression or depressions 11 in the cap 8. This construction serves toprevent the easy or inadvertent unscrewing of the soap stick cap fromthe container cap unless forced manually by turning the soap stick capin the cap of the casing so as to spring the projections 10 out of thedepressions 11. The wall of the container 6 is preferably provided withan annular bead 12.

From this description it will be seen that I have devised a very simpledevice where by a soap stick may be readily inserted in container. I

It will be understood that the cap 2 is sccured upon the soap stick bythe manufac tin-er, a cap being sold with ever stick so that all thepuichaser has to do is to remove the closing cap 8 of the container,unscrew the old soap stick from the cap, and screw the new soap stickinto position.

iVhatI claim as my invention is:

1. A soap stick holder comprising a cylindrical casing, a closing capfor the casing, a soap stick cap in which a soap stick is adapted to bepermanently inserted, a threaded connection between the soap stick capand container cap, and inter-engaging means formed in the soap stick capand container cap for preventing the inadvertent unscrewing of the'soapstick cap from the container cap.

2. A soap stick holder comprising a cylindrical casing, a closing capfor the casing, a soap stick cap in which a soap stick is adapted to bepermanently inserted, a threaded connection between the soap stick capand container cap, projections :rtending from the bottom of the soapstick cap, and depressions formed in the inner face off the containercap into which the aforesaid projections fit when the soap stick cap isin position within the container cap.
